From Maintenance to Design: Bearing Couplings CATIA Design for PHC Pile Spinning Machines, Samuda Construction Limited, T.K. Group, Bangladesh
During my work experience in PHC Pile machine maintenance, I realized that effective maintenance is not only about repairing faults—it often demands engineering design decisions to improve machine reliability and performance. One such critical responsibility was the design and modification of bearing couplings for spinning machines used in PHC pile production. Spinning machines in PHC pile plants operate under high rotational speed, heavy load, continuous duty cycles, and harsh site conditions.
Building Foundation Excavation
Find here below a workflow to get excavation quantities for the foundations of a building. As input, we have a terrain (LIDAR point cloud) and got the ifc of a building. First steps requires extract or multi-extract of the bottom faces of the pillars, footings and slab that will define the contour of the excavation. Then, thanks to Component Based Design, we apply in one operation an excavation template to all those surfaces. This template is driven by parameters defining the downward and side

How to set up proxy to select geometric elements such as points?
Here is a question: In 3DE, when setting a proxy to select a point element, CATPathElementAgent* _pSelectSecPtAgent->AddElementType(IID_CATPoint);It is found that the node where the point is located must be set to edit mode in order to select the point. However, if the model contained in this node is too numerous, the code setting the edit mode takes a considerable amount of time. Is there any method to select the point without setting the edit mode? (Like the native function "Measurement" in
What is the Drawing Grid not according to the model?
Often is the Grid in the drawing not nicely displayed but at least in the right position. This time it's complete out of position. What could the problem be?
IFC Exported incorrectly
Hello all, Since the upgrade to 2026x, we are experiencing issues with IFC export. It seems that only the first instance of an object is displayed correctly, but every other instance of that same object is displayed as a wireframe. The problem seems to occur for both IFC 2x3 and IFC4. Several colleagues are supposed to send IFC exports to their clients today, to this is very urgent for us. Is this a known issue, or should I create an SR for this? Thanks in advance. Below some imaging
How create 3D dimensions on polyhedral objects ?
Hello, In 2D Drawing we can activate polyhedral object option to project geometrie and put dimensions on view. In 3D Tolerancing & Annotations, dimensions are not allowed on polyhedral objetcts ? How can we use polyhedral objects, is there a setting, it's a limitation? Thanks

CATIA x BEIJING INSTITUDE OF ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Envisioning a Smart Hospital of the Future Situated along Beijing’s iconic Chang’an Avenue, a landmark hospital is undergoing a remarkable transformation to upgrade its facilities. Serving a vast and diverse population, the hospital is already renowned for its contributions to scientific research, disease prevention, and community health. This latest project involves a complete modernization, blending the character of its original 1950s architecture with cutting-edge technology and medical
Export exact geometries to Autocad
Hello community, As a surveyor calculator I need to export CATIA models to AutoCAD. Since DWG export is not (yet ;-) available, we use the IFC export. However, the IFC export is by default "tesselated," which makes the model unusable in AutoCAD. To bypass, we export to STEP and then move the model in AutoCAD because geolocation is not supported by the STEP export. In the past, I believe the IFC export was in "exact" mode because the file sizes were much larger. But today, there is no option
Large Point Cloud visualisation
point cloud Is it possible to have the same visualisation effect of the Large Point Cloud in the rich client that the one in Enovia? Visual Enovia Visual CATIA As you notice, the visual effect of the edge are much more evident in Enovia and the point cloud is also less noisy. Both seem to use Hillshade rendering. Also, is it possible to have the hillshade rendering on an extracted zone? Seems that you can only have the colored point cloud or a CATIA color.
